Go out and listen to live music...it's more intimate...and a real art form...and an authentic singer will appreciate the musicians accompanying them..which will show in the performance. What an enjoyable evening.

Getting kissed by Sean Connery, whilst he was James Bond, fanned repeatedly by Bob Dylan when she sang, plucked for a film by Frank Sinatra, bagels and the part of a lifetime from Tom Hanks, gaslit and insulted by Jerry Lewis, adored and showcased by Dean Martin, wildly successful club proprietor with Hugh Hefner, best friends with Connie Stevens, and Diane Ladd, taught a golden secret by Shelley Winters, asked to serenade her hero Judy Garland, and then had the favor returned, making the funny with Renee Taylor, the straight serious with John Houseman, stress understudying Barbara Streisand, mad love for Bette Midler, who almost played her, Tony, Emmy Golden Globe nominee, Lainie Kazan, dancer, singer, actor, spilled all this and so much more! 

My favorite character in my favorite movie, My Favorite Year, we got the behind-the-scenes fun, Peter O’Toole and his wonderfulness, improvising one of the funniest lines, likewise with My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which she waited a year to hear, then had the time of her life with a cast she’s still connected to. 

What a life Lainie’s led! What work she’s done! And what a fun, fierce, and fabulous woman she is! Blessed to call her a friend and even more to know she was off to have drinks and dinner with my mother, which she does most nights. I can’t wait for her in-process memoir, sure to shock, delight, and thrill. 

I love Lainie! Who doesn’t! Lainie Kazan Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Today, LIVE! I couldn't love Lainie Kazan more! I'm a fan, and dare I say, friend. And, she's my mother's regular dinner partner. Crazy.

Star of my favorite comedy, My Favorite Year, Lainie's credits include her iconic turns in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, St. Elsewhere, Beaches, Desperate Housewives, The Nanny, Veronica’s Closet & Will & Grace… to name but a few.

Beginning her career on Broadway in Funny Girl, where she played a Ziegfeld showgirl and understudied Barbra Streisand. Lainie performed the lead role twice in one day, and the rest, as they say, is showbiz herstory!

Hysterically funny, warm, smart, intuitive, and generous, I cannot wait to sit down with this fiercely talented woman again with y'all. We got first-time told secrets last time... just wait!

Happy Anniversary Paul Bartel’s amazing Western film “Lust in the Dust” released on this day in 1985. Let’s hope poor little Sam Elliott doesn’t find out this was how the west was won. #camp #paulbartel #divine #tabhunter #lainiekazan #westerns #queer #film (at Los Angeles/Hollywood California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaldZRcrPDN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here’s my shot of Lainie Kazan at the 7th Annual Kat Kramer's Films That Change the World Presents ''Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain'' in Los Angeles. I always enjoy seeing Lainie when I’m covering an event. Lainie has Nas many great roles over the years but for me Lust In The Dust with Divine was a favorite. Lainie is a glorious 79 years old!
